Shadow profiles galore

brb commit neck rope

you'd think shadow profiles should removed with GDPR

They've got fun connections

But shadow profiles aren’t people! (And totally don’t exist guys we promise)

I hate facebook with a passion

They've done nothing for me, and have only done things to my and other's detriment

unlike other companies like Google, they don't really offer anything unique and useful to everyone

Facebook used to be alright.

Alright was their hieght

I mean.. the best way to use it, was to use it very sparingly.

And that's just not what they were after.

They wanted to plug into people daily.

They can really only make money from people's data now. The problem with most of these services is that they become very costly over time

so companies tend to go to more dubius monetization stategies

Facebook is awful. I hate that without it you’re disconnected from an entire section of people. Not having access to the marketplaces especially is awful if you’re looking for specific stuff since all the niche forums have died and migrated there.

What I really resent

Is something that Vee shed a light on.

Some employers will look at resumes and then google the names of the applicants

Havent used facebook in almost 2 years and Im still waiting to hear what immissing

And then they look up your facebook

Of course they will

And if you have no facebook, or if your facebook is private, you're out of the running IMMEDIATELY

I've never had that issue

That's a convenience that is a DETRIMENT to the people who opt out of it.

A detriment that is worse to you than before it was INVENTED.

So it fucking sucks that way.

Facebook even at its beginning was shady. Never forget the Zuck quote of “they trust me with this info. stupid fucks.”

and I suspect that will die quickly in the instances it does happen due to people bailing on FB

Thats fine, if a company wants to throw me out of the running for keeping my personnel life private i dont want to work for them

@angeryer Where did that quote come from?

... You can say that.

from the Zucc himself

But you act like only stupid companies can make stupid hiring decisions.

with the first version of FB where he gobbled up people's information

The phrase "You can never be too careful" is a poisonous idea.

Yet it sounds sensible to a lot of people.

Time to read a fun article

"You can never be too careful" means it's better to snoop on their facebook before hiring them.
